Power to Gas technology: New frontier

Dec 16: Power to Gas (PtG), a technology, that focus on producing hydrogen from renewable energy seems to have an exciting future8The technology has been under testing in Germany since around 2010, and similar efforts have grown in Japan in recent years.8PtG allows conversion of renewable solar energy, whose output fluctuates over a 24 hour period, into hydrogen, and transporting, storing, and using the gas in economic ways8This helps to stablize the grid.8The general approach is to temporarily store excess renewable electricity to stablize the grid, convert it back into electricity and feed it into the grid as and when needed.8The generated hydrogen can also be used for feedstock of city gas, for heat supply and also for fuel cell vehicles.Click on Reports to know more on what is going on with this new tehchnology
